Isn't the legality of them using adly sketchy? You know, making money off making changes to someone elses commercial product?
Also if they have such a big problem they could go closed source instead of essentially having a big "Use this for whatever" sign up.

You dump over ten thousand work hours into a project, offer it as a gift to the community as a whole, then watch as someone else starts making money off of your work without even asking permission or acknowledging your hard work and see how pissed off you get.

For ****s sake. THIS is the kind thing thats wrong with modding these days. Everyone takes this **** way too seriously. Woohoo, you made changes to a game, oh no someone changed your changes, oh wait. They just did what you did to the original game. They need to get over themselves.

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
Intellectual property should certainly be protected and respected, but that doesn't apply to open-source mods for a game that have no costs associated with them. Again, if they were really worried about making money or keeping their stuff to themselves, then they shouldn't have made it open-source. It's part of the definition of open-source.

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
It is a matter of rudeness. It's rather rude to steal someone else's work and make money off of it. Screw the legality issue, or anything else. It shows blatant disrespect to the people who spent tens of thousands of work hours making mods so people could have a different way of enjoying the game. Then get ridiculed for it.
Yea... 'cause that's a real good way to encourage them to continue making mods...SpoilerQuite possibly, the best rebuttal I have ever witnessed.

Ok other then donations WHERE is Technic making any money? Also if they stop making the open source mod, congrats someone else can continue. Its how **** heads who had good ideas for mods get weeded out. Can't deal with someone modding your mod? Don't make it open source.

I'll keep using Technic till it stops work working - No matter what assorted opinions on here decry.
Haven't had it crash since they took the extra Dungeons and Millinare mods out of it (which is a shame as both added a lot of cool stuff but i did notice the performance drop from them greatly)Thankyou to NEOPhyte for the Techpriest Engiseer

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
A quick question about something rptown related(not related to the tekkit thing though): would a runecraft flying machine be to destructive to use in rptown?, if it burrows it can sometimes leave large ring of soil and stone jutting up from where it exited from a tunnel.
If it stays airborn it doesn't damage anything though.Meow(Steam page)

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
"It's just a stick figure comic strip! How is it wrong for somebody to take it and hundred others without asking? And then sell an app that copies the comic strips and sends them directly to people without them going to each individual website? It's just a free, geeky, sticky figure comic strip. Online comic creators need to relax."This is an example of satire.
Oh, sorry. Wrong conversation. Seemed Applicable.
We really need to move on before things get bad. This is borderline moral/legal issues.
Some of us think piracy, I.E. copying someone's creative work without permission, is a problem, while, it seems, some of us don't.Last edited by Forbiddenwar; 2012-09-08 at 02:15 AM.

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
No, it's completely inapplicable. Look at any strip of OotS. You will see, at the bottom of the page, "(c) 20XX Rich Burlew www.GiantITP.com" This means that the comic is copyrighted, and therefore protected under law. In a moral sense, it's a stamp that says "Don't use this without my say."
The mods used in Technic Pack, on the other hand, are open-source. This means that they don't copyright their work, and furthermore, that they are stamping a big "Use this however you want!" logo onto it.
So, the guys who made Technic said, "Ok, I'll use this however I want!" They took a bunch of these open-source mods, bundled them together, and added value to all of them by integrating them together and making a patcher that improves the user experience by removing all the fiddling around with files and .jars and modloaders and versions and updates and all that crap that makes using a mod a pain in the arse.
I wish you had, because now you've just made a broad, insulting statement that everyone who disagrees with you is pro-piracy and anti-IP protection. You're making us into strawmen, when our actual argument is something completely different. So, congratulations. If you have arguments to bring up against our actual statements, rather than what you imagine us to be saying, then I'd love to continue the discussion. Otherwise, yes it's best we stop here, before either of us says anything we regret.5e Homebrew: Death Knight (Class), Kensai (Monk Subclass)Excellent avatar by Elder Tsofu.

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
No, no, no. Open source does not mean what you think it does. It means that the source code of the mod may freely be examined by others. It does not mean that it may be freely redistributed without permission. That would require either a copyleft licence (common, but not mandatory, practice for open source) or being public domain, and US copyright laws are ridiculous so the second thing is never going to happen until Minecraft is no longer a thing.

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
Ah, see, now that's an argument against what we're saying.
Anyways, could we get a link to the actual creators of the mods, and where they've done all this complaining? I'd especially like to see where the forestry guy said that he changed things so it wouldn't work in technic, specifically to not work with technic.
Also, please look at the donation page for technic. Rather than accepting donations and screwing the mod-makers, the opposite is true. They accept no donations themselves, and instead provide links for you to donate to every single person who's mods are in the pack.5e Homebrew: Death Knight (Class), Kensai (Monk Subclass)Excellent avatar by Elder Tsofu.

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
Okay, I had to come out just because of that last sentence. Is Tekkit really performing piracy, or is it just making several mods work together in one package. They make no claim that the mods in the package are their own work. Actually, do we know what the relationship is between Tekkit and the mod-makers they copy from?
LPs that I like to think I will get back to some day.

Um, I don't even think Technic is a mod, more a launcher UI and modgroup? Idklol. And when is the the Pyramid event being held EST?
Sometimes, I have strong opinions on seemingly inconsequential matters.

That's what I mean. Did they just run off with the mods in question or did they get permission from the individual modders?

Re: Minecraft Thread X: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the ... SSSSSSSS
Minecraft.net is having some issues, namely with the part that confirms logon attempts. Basically, minecraft servers try to check that the person logging on is actually who they say they are (after the incident where people were able to log on as Notch on various servers). This means logging onto a multiplayer Minecraft server is going to be difficult until this is fixed.
